Former Niskayuna High School Graduate Found Responsible for January 6th Incident
Schenectady, NY - In a shocking turn of events, a federal jury has found Brandon Fellows, 29, of Niskayuna, guilty of obstructing an official proceeding and illegally using marijuana in a United States Senator's office during the January 6th Capitol riot.
Fellows, who was previously convicted of obstruction of justice in August, took the stand during Wednesday's trial and expressed satisfaction that members of Congress were experiencing fear during the riot. This revelation stunned the courtroom and has sparked outrage among lawmakers.
According to prosecutors, Fellows illegally entered the Capitol building, roamed the halls smoking marijuana, and disrupted the certification of the 2020 presidential election. He is scheduled to be sentenced in December and faces the possibility of significant prison time.
The verdict comes as a major blow to Fellows and his supporters. It sends a clear message that actions like his, aimed at undermining the rule of law, will not be tolerated. The conviction serves as a reminder of the importance of upholding our democratic institutions and ensuring that those who seek to disrupt them are held accountable.
